This Dad Was Trying To Help His Teen Daughter By Letting Her Know Her Bikini Top Was See-Through But He’s Telling The Internet His Wife Is Accusing Him Of Body-Shaming
A dad has a 17-year-old daughter, who recently bought a brand new bikini top. She put it on and decided to use their family hot tub, and while she was out there, he was sitting in their living room.
When she was done using the hot tub, she walked into the house and her dad noticed something concerning to him.
“The water had made her bikini top basically completely see-through,” he explained. “I didn’t want to embarrass her because I know it’s awkward coming from the father but I thought she should know.”
So, he made the decision to speak up and let his daughter know what was going on with her bikini top, and he tried to break the news to her as gently as he could.
“I told her “I don’t mean to embarrass you but the water turned your bikini top see-through”. She said “wait like you can see my boobs?” and I said yes,” he said.
She was embarrassed though, and she ran over to the mirror in their living room to see what he was talking about.
She clearly realized her dad was right, and he said to her he was just trying to help make sure that she didn’t wear it outside the house and accidentally give all of her friends a show.
She did say that she was glad her classmates wouldn’t be seeing that now that she was going to get a new top.
After that, the bikini incident didn’t come up again, until his wife confronted him for how he handled things.

“She told her mom what happened,” he continued. “My wife is now telling me I body-shamed her.”
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“Telling someone a bathing suit is transparent when wet is not “body-shaming.” You’re talking about the bathing suit, not the body inside it.”
“You’ve pulled her aside in private so as not to embarrass her, you’ve softly mentioned the issue with the bikini top- to which the response was well received.”
“I’m not sure where the body-shaming comes into it?”
“That was a wardrobe malfunction and you had her back. Weird that her mom doesn’t understand that.”
“Maybe there was a miscommunication in how your daughter told the story and mom made an assumption?”
“That is not body shaming. Of course, people would want to know if their clothes had been made literally see-through while in a pool.”
“Daughter herself thought so too and was grateful you caught on to it before anyone else saw. Honestly, I don’t even know why her mother decided she had to get a word in such a straightforward situation.”
“You privately warned her that her clothing had become inappropriate and saved her humiliation in front of her friends in the future. Or saved her getting in trouble if she was planning to wear it to a school function.”
“No comments on her actual body. The way you phrased it, in general, doesn’t sound like it was meant to shame her in any way and doesn’t sound like she took it that way. Just your wife.”
